We gotta move these refrigerators
We gotta move these colour tvs

I know two posts with lyrics on them. It’s an after effect of the Cure concert last night.

The headline on the news today is that UK employees are working for free!

Basically everyone’s putting in more time to show their bosses that they shouldn’t be made redundant if the company is cost-cutting.

Gawd.

UK’s already got the longest working hours and the least Bank Holiday in Europe. I don’t really know whether today’s news makes any difference in that respect.

Most of the staff in our company are working like dogs. We’re not forced (in my opinion), we’re all just driving for the same goal: hit the Live date with flying colours. It’s been the case (the professionalism and staff dedication) since I joined the company, and to be honest I’ve never enjoyed work this much since my first employment.

We could be an exception. And probably in other industries they are working like their lives depended on it.

There are ugly things happening all over the country because of the recession.

The racists are having a field day, pointing out the jobs held by non-British (i.e. non-white) people. News of strikes are almost daily/weekly recently and people (I’ve not seen non-whites in clips or pictures) have banners and flags fostering British Jobs for the British. The BNP’s probably reaping members like Death himself.

These are like scenes out of the film “Child of Men” depicting a futuristic UK, where immigrants are treated like vermins. The “fear” is here.

Now Brown’s infamous words are haunting him. New Labour doesn’t want to be seen as racists or snobs, do they? That’s the Conservative Party’s role.

I hope the resentment stops here. With desperation, things can get ugly.
